Abstract
A reference picture buffer may supply an asymmetric macroblock to a video encoder to improve the bandwidth between the encoder and buffer. The macroblock width may be sized to match the minimum burst width of the buffer. The size of the macroblock may be kept unchanged by reducing the macroblock height.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- bursting only one macroblock per request from a video encoder to a buffer whose minimum burst length is greater than 16 bytes.
An apparatus comprising:
- a buffer whose minimum burst length is greater than 16 bytes;
- and
- an encoder coupled to said buffer to burst only one macroblock per request to the buffer.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executed by a video encoder to:
- burst only one macroblock per request from the video encoder by a buffer whose minimum burst length is greater than 16 bytes.
